The design includes leaf patterns along the sides and a keris and machete crossed at the bottom. The back displays the denomination "10" and "SEPULUH SEN," surrounded by a leaf pattern and legal text. This variant, cataloged as Pick 15b, measures 100 x 44 mm, distinguishing it from the smaller Pick 15a variant.
